Was one of the zombies doing the camera work?

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2003)

Tedious. This movie had the potential to be so much more than it came out to be. The camera-work was so annoying, the direction was pretty pitiful and the story was boring. The idea of a "rage" disease wiping out the human race, leaving a few survivors is interesting - but instead of fighting off zombies, why not add something about reconstructing the human race, rebuilding society? It's as though the writer started off with a point, but decided to transform it into a horror film and somewhere in between ran out of money. And if he was going to make a horror movie - do it right! There were so many instances where audiences are relaxed and not expecting a zombie (sorry, an infected) to jump out and attack; instead it's as though the director wants to show you when one is coming so you can brace yourself by showing a shaky camera running at a victim. The music also made no sense - terrifying sequences usually don't involve a guitar and drum background. I'm sure most would agree that the 3 sequences that occur in the last five minutes leave a lot of unanswered questions; though by that point I could have really cared less. I give this a 6/10 only because the acting was quite good.
